I've been sick for almost a year with dizziness. I can't believe this is going on this long, and frankly, I'm terrified it will never go away.
Anyhow, I just was wondering if anyone else gets what I like to call "internal tremors"? They feel like a vibrating feeling inside but to look at me I don't shake at all. It can't be seen, but I can feel it. I only notice it when my dizziness is bad, and when I'm at rest. It is mostly located in my hands and feet, but I feel it all over too.
I also get a wierd "buzzy" sensation all in my head like when the cable goes out on the television and it is just snow. My brain feels like that. I can't think or do anything because my head feels like the electricity is all messed up.
Does anyone else feel like this?
How can I be feeling like this this far into this illness? Why aren't I getting better? This is so scary and frustrating......

I feel your frustration Toronto,
How long have you had the buzzing. I have had something similar. I've been dealing with this balance crud for about 9 months now. When I lie in bed it feels like I can feel traffic rolling by, but it would be 4am and there wasn't any traffic. I feel like a vibration down my spine. It would go away when I'd get up, but be there again when I'd lie down. I'd feel it while sitting too. Mine lasted for about 3 months or so. Hang in there. As time passes it seems these things take on different shapes. I know your anxiety about the whole thing. Keep fighting.

Hi TO,

Yes, yes, yes....I have had that soooo much. Not much anymore but I certainly got a massive serve of it. It was crazy in the beginning...I'd wake in the night with it running right through my torso. It's just like you say - this internal kind of tremor/buzzing feeling. Sometimes I felt like a walking fishtank with millions of bubbles churning and rising inside my body. And with that a very uneasy freaky feeling. Remember that, at the end of the day, the labyrinth is an extension of your central nervous system (CNS). So if it's all mucked up and sending irregular signals out then you can see why the CNS reacts so profoundly creating tremors and, if it goes on long enough, can create an anxiety disorder (which I got stuck with).

So, it's normal. Yeah, a drag that you're still getting this at the one year mark but, unfortunately, it's different for everybody, as is the trajectory of the illness. But the stats say it all - 99.xx % recover. Hang in there amigo.

You might want to have a read of a post I put up (my first actually) which was about the tremors.
